Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Black A-line (?!) dress with white ‘petal’ or scalloped collar. I stole the design from Hobbs.
I used the Zoe pattern as a base and changed it into a one piece on the front and back, The collar in the original is actually detachable, so I had alot of pfaff trying to sew it in with the facing. I got quite lazy with the scalloping – lesson learned, never be lazu when doing scallop edges! and also somewhat lazy with the running stitch detail, but I like to think it makes it less formal that way.
Material Notes
Synthetic fibres, one long zip, embroidery thread.
Difficulty
Novice

This is really really cool. How difficult was it to change the pattern?

I always found the Zoe dress a little boring, but this collar totally spices it up! It frames your face so well! Fantastic job all around!

This is such a sweet dress. I also recently altered Zoe to make a one piece dress, but I really love how you individualized it with the petal collar. Very nice.
